Raj: You know what? Even though I don't have a girlfriend, I can still have a good time on Valentine's Day.

Howard: Trust me, you can't. I've tried.

Raj: No, no, no, I’m going to have a me day. First I’m going to go to one of those spas in Koreatown, take a steam and get a massage. Then I’m going to stop at a pet store and get licked by puppies.

Girls...and guys, you don't have to sit at home and be mopey all day on Valentine's Day. Even Raj from Big Bang Theory is confident he can have a happy Valentine's Day being single! I'm here to give you the ultimate guide to surviving Valentine's Day alone (because sometimes alone is better). JERSEY SHORE STYLE!

Pamper Yourself

What better time to get a massage than on Valentine's Day? It's the perfect day to focus on yourself and #treatyoself. And you don't need to spend a ton of money to pamper yourself either.

Groupon has many spa discounts in the area plus for a limited time you can get an extra 20% off! Check out the one I just purchased in Sea Girt: https://www.groupon.com/deals/massage-club-of-wall-1

Treat Yo Self

I'd say this one's a given. You don't need a man to get you some bling- you can buy it yourself! My favorite thing about this is that you won't ever feel sad about wearing it because there's no breaking up with yourself! This is a holiday for yourself- spend a little on yourself instead of wasting money on someone else who may not matter in a few months.

I've already got my eye on this pretty little one at Tiffany which you can get at the Red Bank location: http://www.tiffany.com/collections/paloma-picasso/palomas-graffiti-arrow-bracelet-GRP09241/palomas-graffiti-arrow-bracelet-37359505?omcid=PPC_PLA+-+Picasso+-+US&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=PLA+-+Picasso+-+US&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=gzqjjV1Q|pcrid|88655246053|pkw||pmt||pdv|c|&mkwid=sgzqjjV1Q|pcrid|88655246053|pkw||pmt||pdv|c|mtid|744dpc50313|slid||&gclid=Cj0KEQiAw_DEBRChnYiQ_562gsEBEiQA4Lcsso2PfWBLTKxVkuxm5C7KguxdOpBK6at94EI4jL1kZw8aAlDD8P8HAQ

Make a Statement

Do something daring! Have been thinking about getting a tattoo? Do it. Been wanting that nose piercing? Do it. Or don't want to go that extreme- change up your look, get your hair done. LIBERATE YOURSELF! Stop feeling bad for yourself because you're alone- do something about it. Make yourself happy, do something that makes you happy because at the end of the day you come into this world alone and you leave the same exact way. Get a little selfish. Spend that little extra on yourself.

Here are my recommendations of places (around the area) if you are looking to make a statement:

Just remember....pamper yourself, treat yourself, make a statement because YOU deserve it. Not because you're upset you're by yourself. Don't do something crazy or spend lots of money that you'll regret on February 15th. Do something that will make you even happier than you already are. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER...
